The kid hadn't quite caught on yet, Liu Shile thought to herself, rolling her eyes.
However, she didn't let her silly second brother see it, and only asked him, "Second brother, think about it, what are we lacking right now?"
What do they lack? They seem to lack quite a few things, but they don't seem to lack money.
My sister earned quite a bit of money last time, and even though she spent some of it on this trip to the capital, she should still have some left.
My younger sister grows a lot of vegetables in Grandma Wang's yard. There are more than we can eat, so most of the time we give them away.
So they are actually short of food, right?
Thinking this through, Liu Shihua understood that her younger sister was panicking because she had no food.
"Lele, why did you suddenly make this decision?" But he still didn't understand why his sister did this.
As for grain, although you need grain coupons to buy grain nowadays, you can still buy some from farmers without grain coupons.
"It's nothing. It's just that the disaster this year is very serious, and it's difficult to buy food, so I thought I'd grow some myself."
"If such a situation were to occur again in the future, we wouldn't panic if we had our own food supplies."
Well, that's a perfectly legitimate reason, but only Liu Shile herself knows for sure.
However, her words did make Liu Shihua nod in agreement.
Working at the grain depot is actually quite tedious, mostly involving physical labor. The wages aren't low, but they're not high either.
Moreover, you don't have the initiative in this job, but it's different if you're doing the land clearing yourself.
After the land was cleared, they decided for themselves what crops to plant.
Whether they eat the harvested grain themselves or sell it for money is up to them.
Most importantly, once the land is cultivated, it's a long-term resource. As long as precautions are taken, it will essentially become a natural mini-granary for them.
This is much more profitable than working at the grain depot.
"Alright, Lele, whatever you say goes. But there are plenty of wild animals in the mountains. Won't they ruin the crops if we cultivate this land?"
Liu Shihua had never farmed before, but she knew that wild animals could damage crops, so she was somewhat worried.
Liu Shile had a plan in mind, so she wasn't afraid. She just shook her head and said, "We're strong, so we can take some protective measures to block it when the time comes."
"Second brother, look! This place has both a water source and a natural reservoir, and its terrain is also quite high; it's the best land for cultivation."
She wasn't wrong. Although there were some trees nearby, they could be cut down, since no one comes to this remote mountain area anyway.
With two little white dogs here, not only do small animals dare not come, but even strangers dare not approach.
Liu Shihua agreed with this point, and said seriously, "In that case, let's start next week. I'll resign when I get back tomorrow."
Liu Shihua answered readily, but as soon as he finished speaking, he looked in horror at the person behind his sister.
Noticing his change, Liu Shile's expression remained unchanged; she knew what he was afraid of.
Then, she was immediately behind Liu Shihua, and all she heard was her second brother trembling as he said, "Lele, run! Your second brother will stop them!"
Uh, it seems my second brother's body reacts faster than his brain?
Since her second brother's first reaction in such a situation was to protect her, she couldn't really let her second brother be frightened, could she?
He glanced at the two little ones and said irritably, "Big White, Little White, you scared my second brother. Be good."
Just as Liu Shihua was about to fight desperately, she saw two majestic white tigers walking over obediently, like meowing.
While he was still in a daze, he saw his younger sister walk past him and head towards the two white tigers.
At that moment, Liu Shihua felt as if her heart had stopped beating!
That's a tiger! A tiger!
If my sister were to take a bite, would she even survive?
Thinking of his sister's personality, his heart slowly recovered. His sister never did anything without being sure of the outcome, so those two tigers must be ones his sister knew.
Sure enough, before he could even speak, the two tigers were enjoying letting his sister stroke their heads.
Then his sister smiled and said, "Second brother, don't worry, these are Big White and Little White. I met them in the mountains last year. They are my friends."
...
If you were to be friends with a tiger, you probably wouldn't be the only one.
Liu Shihua was speechless. She knew her younger sister was brave and capable, but she never expected that she could get along peacefully with a tiger.
It can only be said that Liu Shihua's observation skills need improvement. Is this supposed to be peaceful coexistence? It's obvious that the two little ones are very dependent on their younger sister!
Even so, Liu Shihua's lips twitched, and it took her a while to nod.
After a moment, he suddenly realized and said, "Lele, do you mean to let them guard the land here from now on?"
"Good, good, good! With them guarding this place, no wild animals will dare to come and cause trouble. Excellent, excellent, excellent!"
As long as the tiger didn't harm anyone, Liu Shihua stopped worrying and started thinking about reclaiming the land.
Liu Shile smiled and nodded, neither confirming nor denying; the two little ones were actually just using it as a form of defense.
She still has mutated rose seeds lying around, but now that the land has been cleared, she'll plant one and keep it safe.
Hmm, or maybe let that tree recognize its own eldest sister as its master. The eldest sister is delicate and weak, and lacks martial arts skills. Giving her something to protect her life wouldn't be bad.
Okay, it's decided then. After all, her older sister treats her so well.
Liu Shile would never admit that she made this decision because she loved her older sister's cooking so much!
Liu Shihua had no idea what his sister was thinking; he had already started planning what to bring on his next visit.
Hoes, shovels, machetes, sickles—these are essential. As for other things, he hasn't thought of them yet.
Having grown up in town since childhood, I've never done any farm work, let alone reclaimed wasteland, so I honestly don't know what tools I need.
So the brother and sister chatted for a while about clearing the land, and then started chopping firewood.
Liu Shile did not participate, but went into the cave instead.
They hadn't been able to find a water source for the kitchen, so Liu Shile wanted to see if they could bring water from the river.
Although it is somewhat difficult, it is something that must be done. Otherwise, what use is this cave if there is no water to cook a meal?
Fortunately, although the cave was located on high ground, Liu Shile still managed to find a place where she could draw water.
However, she needed some bamboo, which was quite a coincidence. Because of the bamboo curtain painting, she went to the bamboo forest and got a lot of different varieties of bamboo to plant on the farm. They are growing very well now.
However, we can't just take them out of thin air. It seems we need to find an opportunity to move some to the mountains, so we can pretend to discover them by accident and then make use of them.
Actually, Liu Shile was more interested in figuring out why the cave was so bright.
Unfortunately, after observing and struggling for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out, and in the end, they had to give up.
However, she didn't really care. As long as this place could be used by her, it didn't matter why it looked like this.
She wandered over to Medicine Valley (Liu Shile named the valley, which is spring-like all year round, Medicine Valley) and found that the medicinal herbs she had moved away before had been replenished.
